Secure multimedia communication: advanced asymmetric key authentication with grayscale visual cryptography.

The secure authentication of user data is crucial in various sectors, including digital banking, medical applications and e-governance, especially for images. Secure communication protects against data tampering and forgery, thereby bolstering the foundation for informed decision-making, whether managing traffic, enhancing public safety, or monitoring environmental conditions. Conventional visual cryptographic protocols offer solutions, particularly for color images, though they grapple with challenges such as high computational demands and reliance on multiple cover images.

Assessment of seed- and seedling-related traits in (Indian sandalwood) reveals high adaptive potential.

Seed and seedling traits govern plant fitness and persistence and are influenced by the interaction between the plant and its environment. Changing climatic and edaphic conditions will drastically affect early fitnessrelated traits and can alter the demography and species distribution range. It is widely documented that trait variation among populations may increase resilience of tree communities and reduce the risk of extinction under future climates.

Low temperature photoluminescence and solvatochromic studies of organic hybrid 4-methoxybenzylammonium chloride (4-MBACl).

We report temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) and solvatochromic studies of 4-methoxybenzylammonium chloride (4-MBACl). The single crystals of 4-MBACl has been grown using slow solvent evaporation method under ambient conditions and have been confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies. Thermal stability of the material has been analyzed by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyzes (DTA).

Molecular structure and quantum descriptors of cefradine by using vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman), NBO, AIM, chemical reactivity and molecular docking.

This study aims to investigate the structural and vibrational features of cefradine (the first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic) based on spectroscopic experiments and theoretical quantum chemical approach. The fundamental structural aspects of cefradine have been examined based on optimized geometry, spectroscopic behavior, intermolecular interaction, chemical reactivity, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and molecular docking analysis. The most stable minimum energy conformer of the title molecule was identified by performing a one-dimensional potential energy surface scan along the rotational bonds at B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory.
